Nintendo has charged me a total of $20 to play online on both their handheld and home consoles for the past 14 years. So yeah, I think that's MUCH better than the competition. Given I'd pay $20/yr for the NES catalog, online multi is still free for me.

Nintendo is greedy when they don't sell their hardware at a loss.
They get complaints when they don't discount their games after the launch hype has worn off.
They get complaints about the price of their online service.

How exactly is Nintendo supposed to make money?

(Basing something's value on how much each component part costs is almost as bad as communism)

Your first argument is the same of people that said they would pay 60 on XBL or PS just for the discount and free games. Myself I don't play MP at all, still have the sub for like 4 years.

Have I said Nintendo is greedy for not selling the HW at loss? Nope, I said for me it is overprice considering the other HW released selling for 50 loss while Switch would be 50 profit.

Nintendo get this complains and deserve it and you know it. Their online was much worse and even Nintendo community complained to pay for it on that state. Every company discount their games from 6-12 months after release and forward.

MS and Sony are making money, so not sure why wouldn't Nintendo make money. It is more like some people preffer to defend Nintendo on what they do that is  less value than the competitors. Like it is some kind of pleasure to pay more for the same.

Then, vita is overprice too for $250 hardware + almost $50 memory card? 

"Nintendo get this complains and deserve it and you know it" "Every company discount their games from 6-12 months after release and forward" Yeah, deserve to make money on hardware and software more than Sony since they know how to manage their own finance and make games that still hold value after several years unlike the others

"It is more like some people preffer to defend Nintendo on what they do that is  less value than the competitors. Like it is some kind of pleasure to pay more for the same." That's the same when Sony fans defend censorship on ps4 by Sony and enjoy some 3rd party games on ps4 with way less contents
